Disabling grass my disable grass like objects as well (which may be found in interior maps).

Can you send me one of these saved games?

I find it ironic that I almost didn't buy it because of the issues, I get convinced otherwise, then it manages to do all this to me.

In looking at your crash log, I'm fairly certain this is an issue specific to the X800 cards. Cold comfort to you, I realize, but that does seem to be where this is headed. If I can get a crash fairly consistently out of your saved games on those X800 cards, we'll stand a chance of getting a fix in.

One last thing - have you disabled VBOs with the hack posted earlier in this thread or do you have them enabled still?

Sorry, I already overwrote them. As soon as I'm done with this planet (Manaan), I'll go back there and see if it crashes. If it does, I'll send you a save.

Fortunately, I haven't had any problems so far after leaving Dantooine. If this leads to a fix, though, I'm glad that I'll be able to help.

I disabled VBOs while on Dantooine. After leaving, I turned them back on. I haven't had any problems since, so I don't know if it's just that area, or certain problems with not using VBOs.

Brad said it was caused because of optimizations done for DOOM III. Since on the PC side, they have those and many more optimizations for DOOM III, it's not too difficult to see that the same troubles would be on the PC side.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic: Running the Dantoonie level of the game no longer result in hesitation being noticed

Of course, "Dantoonie" is probably a different level than Dantooine.

hi.

I didn't read all the thread, but i have just purchased this game, and it's very choppy on my G4@1.8ghz with 9000 pro card - same as stated by the author of this thread. In the begining of this discussion, brad oliver as tell that there will be a patch for my type of card to disabling some graphic vertex things, is this patch ready to download ? (i have ready installed the last patch i have found on aspyr.com)

thks for the information !

and BTW, thanks for your work, porting such great game, on mac !

The Evil Empire is now beginning construction of its new super weapon, the Grass Forge! It will surely stop us all.

I meant from the point of view of both of them crashing all the time.

(I post again here, because my thread has been closed) -

Hi,

It's about Kotor, and the damn radeon 9000pro problem, on datooine planet -

I've read the thread about this subject, and i would like to know, if there is a new patch (other than 1.03c) in the work to fix this issue.

It appears there is a lot of people who have this issue now, so i would assume, Aspyr, is going to fix that quick -

Could u tell me(us)(6-7 people from macbidouille.fr will be pointed to this thread, there are waiting also for a solution) if you're planing to do this, or... the only solution is to downgrade to OSX 10.3.7 - if it's so, i'm planning to have my money back from aspyr(and i will sent back the game, of course  ), because, i don't want to do the downgrade operation, i've not time for this, and i don't find this funny to do at all.

thks in advance, and sorry for my bad english

zbah.
OSX 10.3.9 - G4@1,8ghz - radeon 9000pro(128meg) - 1,5go RAM

i know there's not the Apsyr fault, directly...

But if i can't play a game i have just buyed, it's normal to get my money back from aspyr (or the french distributor for instance- Apacabar ) - Aspyr will get in touch with apple for all the subsequent problem of their Opengl strategy in MacosX - That's not my problem, as a buyer of a product, that is supposed to work well on my configuration (specified on the box) - I don't blame anybody here - I just want to know if there is a patch in the work, to solve the problem - if not - I can't keep a game i can't play - so...

Thanks, but that's don't, as stated befor by Brad Oliver, this trick don't work with the radeon 9000pro card, because that's scrambled all the 3d graph into a mess of triangles everywhere - the game speed will be ok, yes, but it's unplayable too...

I agree with zbah in terms of getting his money back. Regardless of whether Apple or Aspyr broke it, if the box says "Requires Mac OS X 10.x or later", and he's got it but can't play the game, he should get his money back. We shouldn't have to research the hell out of each game we buy to make sure it works perfectly on our configuration.
